00:11:00 <K> hello fellow quadrobeawers
00:12:52 <electrohead> hello my fellow wet beaver
00:38:26 <K> mmmmmoiust
00:39:37 <electrohead> lol
00:51:27 <arch> how do you do, fellow quadratic equations?
00:53:06 * K discriminates arch a bit
00:55:37 * arch uses the FOIL method on K
01:23:23 * electrohead attaches probes
02:28:23 <MrMobodies> Absultely P*SSED
02:28:41 <MrMobodies> Are you sure you want to unlock the bootloader, press this button
02:29:02 <MrMobodies> doing so will put so and applications at risk you SURE you want to continue... yes
02:29:11 <MrMobodies> Press up long to continue
02:29:22 <MrMobodies> now it kept on rebooting before I had a chance to
02:29:54 <MrMobodies> Three times and more like they don't want to me to
02:31:23 <MrMobodies> oh recovered
02:31:37 <MrMobodies> from "Oem unlock" which I did the first time
02:31:47 <MrMobodies> Second excuse "Only oficial binaries are allowed to be flashed
02:31:57 <MrMobodies> excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse
02:34:56 <MrMobodies> I see what's done, it's done a factory reset and disabled the option
02:35:00 <MrMobodies> oem unlock
02:35:54 <MrMobodies> aaahh bootloader unlicked message
02:36:12 <MrMobodies> so got to set it up again and turn off oem unlocking
02:36:28 <MrMobodies> almost felt like smashing this thing to bits
02:41:14 <MrMobodies> OEM unlock missing now from developer tools
02:41:19 <MrMobodies> maybe that's it's gone
02:52:22 <Kuschelpony> had a little bit success today, setting up a cobbled togethet test image generator for scope CRT
03:40:22 <MrMobodies> Managed to flash it but another warning and existing OS can't load
03:40:48 <MrMobodies> only after changing the date back to January 2019 (worked according to some posters)
03:41:08 <MrMobodies> that was for a Samsung phone but this is a Samsug tablet and it was manufacturered in 2019
03:41:24 <MrMobodies> What kind of scope are you reparing?
03:52:22 <Kuschelpony> im not repairing a scope (then i would have all circuit already wired up ) but a generic test image generator for checking tubes that i buy for new projects, and also comparing their fluorescent screens
05:57:05 <MrMobodies> Stupid SIDE LOADING failed, I rebooted by accident, despite erasing and the samsung defaulted the bootloader, set back up and disabled OEM lock
05:57:10 <MrMobodies> They make it SO DIFFICULT
05:57:40 <MrMobodies> It loaded the lineageos recovery
05:57:47 <MrMobodies> now the default one appears
05:57:59 <MrMobodies> "NOTE: Be sure to reboot into recovery immediately after installing the custom recovery. If you don’t the custom recovery will be overwritten on boot."
05:58:06 <MrMobodies> Absolutely ridiculous!
05:59:44 <MrMobodies> aaaah it's back

06:01:21 <MrMobodies> this time I copied the zip file on the sdcard I put in
06:03:05 <MrMobodies> 3rd EXCUSE
06:03:20 <MrMobodies> "Denying OTA because it's SPL downgrade"
06:03:26 <MrMobodies> yet that is the latest I downloaded
06:17:57 <MrMobodies> oops I put an older copy on, I was going to try that later
06:18:23 <MrMobodies> i'll put the new one on, anything to get rid of Samsung and that Bixby

12:27:40 <MrMobodies> stuck with the Samsung firmware I managed to uninstall with ABD a load of sh*t that was bothering
12:28:06 <MrMobodies> I tried Lineage 22 (Android 15) and I don't know what's worst
12:28:54 <MrMobodies> found an old copy of Lineage 18 (Android 11) on Archive.org but bootloader would not accept and didn't know how to use the img bootloader
12:29:46 <MrMobodies> Found on Samfw original firmware from 2022 and it worked with Odin, hoping it'd allow me to install Lineagoe 18 but no same message occured (only official firmware etc) and even when setting the date back to 2019

12:31:53 <MrMobodies> Samsung free GONE, Bixby GONE, Stupid Google Searchbar GONE, Suggestions (some) GONE
12:32:23 <MrMobodies> damn searchbar still in revent
12:32:27 <MrMobodies> *recent
14:07:25 <MrMobodies> I didn't know Google play (not samsung) was responsibe for all those nags in the notifications

14:10:44 <MrMobodies> Much better. Unfortunately a light overlay with blur but that has to be better than a dark dimming overlay.
14:11:10 <MrMobodies> Media buttons hidden/buried deep in sub menus
14:11:18 <MrMobodies> buttons that's in the way and will never use
14:12:18 <MrMobodies> Looks like Google found a way of spamming people and facilitating APP makers into it through the notifications thing, so you will always see it (in Android 15) when trying to scoll to it)
14:12:43 <MrMobodies> I don't mind the stock firmware as long as it leaves me alone
14:13:15 <MrMobodies> can't do anything about the search, I belive that is "onetouch launcher"
14:13:27 <MrMobodies> one more annoyance is the startup sound to see to
14:14:41 <MrMobodies> 8 hours of frustration and anger just to do things that are suppose to be so simple
14:15:27 <MrMobodies> "Play audio at startup" I bet it isn't there.

14:42:49 <MrMobodies> Unstable and crashes and that bar keeps on appearing
14:43:12 <MrMobodies> going to see if I can get the one I installed on my phone in 2018
14:43:41 <MrMobodies> Looks like they bolloxed it up

15:33:43 <MrMobodies> Looks like I got it usable for some of the things I want
15:34:13 <MrMobodies> with no UI interference and harassment from Samsung and Google.
15:34:48 <MrMobodies> ooh forgot notepad
15:55:00 <MrMobodies> It took me about 5 hours to find out what packages where for and remove the rubbish

15:57:32 <MrMobodies> were you ever given something for free but ended up not appreciating it due to the frustration and stressed it caused you?

16:55:42 <MrMobodies> Nope DAILYBOARD keeps on sending NOTIFICATIONS everytime it is plugged in, won't let me turn off notifications greyed out, I found other settings for it, attempting to configure it in APP leads to "privacy" agreement, then next screen "you need to install SMARTHINGS"
16:55:50 <MrMobodies> Coercing and harassment from Samsung
16:56:15 <MrMobodies> everytime I plug it in I get that notification
16:56:35 <MrMobodies> they also do it on their TV's apparently

16:57:18 <MrMobodies> can't find any packages with ABD that match a name. It could be any one.
16:58:17 <MrMobodies> I accidentally uninstalled the keyboard, Honeyboard thinking that might have somethig to do with it
16:59:00 <MrMobodies> I am going to go through that list later uninstalling things and until I find what rock that scum is hiding under.
17:00:00 <MrMobodies> Samsung has given a new name over the years such as board...
